Once upon a time it was easy to prototype a circuit by hand soldering components on to a prototyping board, using wire wrap techniques or a breadboard. Today, our advanced electronics require the use of small and tight pitched components. It’s made it almost impossible to prototype. Schmartboard, and only Schmartboard, has solved this conundrum. Never before has it been so easy to hand solder surface mount components. Only Schmartboard has apatented technology that makes this possible. "Schmartboard|ez" makes it easy to solder SOIC, QFP, QFN and other component packages with pitches as small as .4mm. If you want to use surfacemount on Arduino, Schmartboard is your only option.
